The Seven Wonders of Middle Earth

Maybe this has been done... but let's do it again!

What would you consider the "Seven Wonders" of Middle Earth. Any age.

I don't have a firm seven - but I have six strong nominees (one of which might be subject to disqualification) - and lots of other contenders.

My Nominees:
* Menegroth
* Gondolin
* Khazad Dum
* Sauron's Temple on Numenor (possibly DQ'd - he WAS a Maia)
* Bridge of Osgiliath
* Argonath

The Contenders:
* Pillar of Ar-Pharazon
* Orthanc
* Nargothrond (but we should only have so many underground fortresses)
* Erebor (ditto)
* Minas Tirith
* Dark Tower
* Amon Sul

The following were significant as well - should these be considered? All are by Valas & Maias:
* Thangorodrim
* Taniquetil
* Two Trees: Telperion & Laurelin
* Two Lamps

Those we know too little about:
* Gundabad
* Annuminas

There could also be the Seven Natural Wonders of Middle Earth:
* Falls of Rauros
* Mount Caradhras
* Falls, Tunnels & Gates of Sirion

What else?

Which ones do you think most belong?
